You'll be treated to world-class equestrian displays, the Large Novice Dog Agility Finals, the adorable Shetland Pony Grand National and a show-stopping Christmas Finale to round off an evening of spectacular entertainment.

After a thrilling and memorable evening, we'll head to our hotel for a good night's rest.

Having 2 different events caused a lot of problems. My husband a little disabled believed as all the others that. We would go to the hotel then to the event. All his tablets and requirements were in our bags, which were in the hold. We were told at 2.45 that we were being dropped now at Olympia and being picked at 10.45. For people with disabilities this was impossible. We opted to go to the hotel with the other group. Only getting 45mins to sort ourselves out no time for food for a diabetic. We traveled back to the Albert hall and had to take a taxi to Olympia (at a cost of £15)Which we enjoyed very much. If we had traveled straight to the hotel with just a group going to Olympia we would have been able to relax, eat, and prepare for the evening and still had time in the village shopping.. The tour manager might have been good at one time probably with students but as a teacher I would not have instructed my children in the manner she spoke to us and the lateness of instructions.

Very good trip, but to longer journey pick up stops were short but had to wait ,eg stoke to Newcastle was 30 minute's between, but it only takes 10 minutes,so lots of time wasted waiting around. Could have had more time in London .
